WORKING WITH LABORATORY ANIMALS: WHEN, HOW AND WHAT FOR?

 

Teaching staff

Prof. Doutor Rui M. Gil da Costa (coordinator, UFMA)

Prof. Doutor Bruno Araújo (UFMA)

Prof. Doutora Haissa O. Brito (UFMA)

Prof. Doutora Maria do Socorro Cartágenes (UFMA)

Prof. Doutora Ana Faustino-Rocha (University of Évora, Portugal)

 

Objectives

To address theoretic and practical notions on the use of laboratory animals (mainly rats and mice), focusing on PPGSAD research lines, namely oncology, cardiovascular pathology, chronic and degenerative diseases and infectious diseases. Pharmacological, toxicological and physiopathological approaches will be covered. Ethical concerns and legal dispositions regarding the use of laboratory animals will be emphasized.

 

Venue

All classes will be held at CCBS/UFMA, Monday to Friday, during the afternoon. Adjustments to the time table may be required and will be announced in advance.

 

Main topics

-Ethics in laboratory animal science, handling, housing and routine procedures. Biology and well-being of laboratory animals. Relevant legislation.

-Practical knowledge of animal handling, housing and experimental procedures.

-Specific training in techniques and procedures relevant for PPGSAD research lines, including:

-Chronic and degenerative pathologies including inflammatory and endocrine conditions,

-Models for studying neurosciences.

-Animal models of cancer.

-Translational medicine, biomaterials, pharmacology and toxicology.

 

Evaluation

Students will be required to study and publicly present a research paper pertinent for the discipline, selected by the discipline's coordinator. Grades will be attributed on the basis of the presentation's thoroughness, scientific rigor and communication efficacy.
